Formoterol

About Formoterol

Formoterol is a high-purity reference standard of Formoterol carrying the CAS registry number 73573-87-2. Formula C19H24N2O4, molecular weight 344.4 g/mol. The IUPAC name is N-[2-hydroxy-5-[1-hydroxy-2-[1-(4-methoxyphenyl)propan-2-ylamino]ethyl]phenyl]formamide. It is also known as Eformoterol.

The product is provided as a solid. Reference materials should be stored sealed and away from light and moisture, as specified on the accompanying COA. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

As a reference sample of Formoterol, it is used for identification, assay and impurity-profiling work during analytical method development, validation (AMV) and routine QC. Typical end-use sectors are pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Available in 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg packs, Formoterol is dispatched with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) to destinations worldwide.
